Soccer

It has been a big few weeks for the Stella soccer teams. We have had teams playing at the CGSSSA, Broken Bay and Bill Turner Cup competitions – and we have had amazing success in all these events!

The CGSSSA Soccer Championships were held at Melwood Oval on Monday 6 May. Stella had teams in both the Open and U15 competitions. The competition was tough, playing against schools such as Monte, Loreto, Santa Sabina and St Scholastica. Both teams did very well to finish in third place.

Well done to all members of the CGSSSA teams:

Open: Amelia M, Summer B, Cassie G, Charley H, Sarah K, Sammi W, Tara N, Niamh G, Sienna L, Eliza A, Liv E, Betty B and Ella H.

U15: Gracie E, Frida C, Amelie V, Piper B, Arwen T, Zoe B, Maisey S, Ann M, Kayla R, Ellie W, Phoebe L, Gracie B.

The Broken Bay tournament was held over two days. The U15 event was held at Cromer Park on Thursday 2 May. The wet weather caused a few changes to the day, with the event being run as a knockout competition. The Stella team was unbeatable, winning their way through to the grand final against Mount Saint Benedict. In the end, the Stella team had a comfortable win to become Broken Bay Champions for 2024.

The Open event was held at Melwood on Tuesday 7 May. Once again, the Stella team dominated, winning all round games and progressing through to the grand final against Brigidine. It was a close final, with the Stella team coming away with a 1 – 0 win, to also take the title of Broken Bay Champions for 2024.

Both the U15 and Open teams have now progressed through to the NSWCCC knockout tournament. They will both play Loreto Kirribilli later this term.

Well done to all members of the teams:

Open: Charlotte C, Emma B, Sophie L, Indie C, Eadie P, Jade G, Bonny A, April U, Lara M, Lyla R, Jessica P, Camille C, Siena A, Lola H.

The Bill Turner Cup team played their round two match against a strong Mackellar team at Lionel Watts on Thursday 9 May. It was a great game with the Stella team coming away with a good 4 – 2 win. The team now progress to round three of the tournament.

Netball

The Peninsula Cup competition commenced this week after the rain forced the cancellation of round one. Stella has 11 teams playing in the competition on Tuesday afternoons at Curl Curl.

A big congratulations to Georgia B who played in the Broken Bay U15 team at the NSWCCC Selections on May 7^th. Georgia played extremely well against very tough competition all day, and made it down to the final group of selections. Well done Georgia!

Congratulations also goes to Mia L and Ana T who have been selected into representative teams. Mia has been selected for the Samoa NSW team, and Ana for the Tonga NSW team. Well done to Mia and Ana on this amazing achievement!

Cross Country

It is a busy few weeks for our cross country runners. Our season started with our first carnival on Friday 10 May – the CGSSSA Championships at Bicentennial Park, Homebush. This was the first time that Stella had competed at this event and all involved had a wonderful time. Stella also had some fantastic results. Special mention to Pip Q, who finished first and Amelia M who finished second.

In the next two weeks the team will compete at the IGSA carnival at Frensham on May 17 and the Broken Bay Championships at Gosford Racecoure on May 21. Good luck to all of our runners.

Hockey

This year we have introduced hockey to our sport program. Our first ever hockey team played in round one of the Mollie Dive competition on Tuesday 7 May at Barker College against Roseville College. The Stella team was amazing! They played so well in the cold and wet conditions and came away with a 5 – 0 win! Well done to all members of the team! The season will continue for the remainder of Term 2.
